After a lot of jockeying around, I was finally able to get the transmission installed to the point where the transmission input shaft has cleared the clutch splines. The gap between the engine and bellhousing is now down to about 3/8", so I'm thinking I'm at the pilot bearing. Or am I at the locating pins? The engine/bellhousing gap appears to be uniform.
Earlier I had test fit the pilot bearing on the input shaft, and it slipped on easily, so I don't think that's an issue.
Any tips or tricks to getting the shaft into the bearing? I do have a couple of stabbing bolts installed, and have loosely installed a couple of bolts. Do you think I can sequentially tighten the bolts to draw the two together?
